Chapter 484 Zefa: I just want to retire!
On the 1st, outside the slave auction, among the pile of navy soldiers lying on the ground, several soldiers pushed aside the bodies of their unconscious companions, climbed up from the bottom, and covered their bloody heads, a little dazed.
The person who defeated them... Oh, that woman, Jolyne Kujo!
The marines shuddered. At this moment, a loud "boom" was heard from the slave auction house in front of them. The shaking of the ground almost made the soldiers jump up. The house, which had no ceiling, completely disintegrated. The four walls covered with moss quickly shattered under the huge impact force from inside and collapsed with a loud bang...On the ruins, there were only three figures standing.
"It's General Zephyr!"
The awake marines exclaimed, "And Giovanna Giorno..."
In the center of the ruins, the stage that was originally used for the auction was still intact. Giorno and General Zephyr faced each other with their black fists, and astonishing momentum burst out between their fists.
"That's General Zephyr, known as the 'Black Arm'!"
The Marines were shocked.
"Giovanna Giorno's Armament Haki..."
Crack! The ground beneath Zefa's feet cracked, and his thick right arm turned pitch black.
"You can actually fight against 'Black Arm' head-on?!"
Bang! The stage under Lin Qi's feet was also crushed by him.
Black lightning burst out, and the marines not far outside the ruins kept screaming.
"No wonder you were able to defeat Lauter Heina. Your domineering aura... is quite powerful!"
After a punch, they separated briefly, and Zephyr narrowed his eyes and stared at the spirited young pirate opposite him.
"Should I feel honored to be praised by 'Black Arm' Zefa?"
Lynch laughed, and almost at the same time as Zefa, he once again entangled himself with strong armed color domineering, and fought with him.
Bang! Bang! Bang! …
The black fist shadows collided with each other, as fast as thunder and as dense as fire! It was hard to imagine that this was a pirate who had not yet entered the New World, confronting the admiral of the Navy Headquarters head-on! Every punch of the two collided with an astonishing impact. While the marines were watching with a thrill, the auction host who was trembling on the edge of the stage was also frightened. This was too scary. Giovanna Giorno's strength was so strong that he could not only remove the slave collar at will, but even the admiral of the headquarters, the "black wrist" Zephyr who made countless pirates tremble in fear, could not take him down immediately? !
You know, Giorno is not the only one!
The trembling host knew this, the marines who were not qualified to intervene in this duel even if they were not injured knew this, and Zefa himself was of course the most clear about this...
When Zephyr exchanged his first punch with Giovanna Giorno, he already knew that he might not be able to successfully defeat the young pirate this time.
Admiral "Black Arm" is certainly confident that he can defeat this powerful but still young pirate... However, the female captain of Giorno who is wandering around somewhere unknown always makes Zephyr feel uneasy. What is even more threatening is the old man with long gray hair who was chatting and laughing with Giorno before, the "Pluto" Rayleigh who has been in hiding for many years.
Although this Pluto was just watching his fight with Giorno with a smile, Zephyr could not ignore his presence and inevitably diverted some of his attention.
"Are you just going to watch? Rayleigh!!"
Zefa's fists were extremely black. He took a step back and punched the ground with a "boom". The entire ground was lifted up and rushed towards Rayleigh like a dragon turning over.
"I'm just an old guy who happens to be here..."
As Rayleigh spoke, his hairy legs in flip-flops were wrapped with armed Haki, and he kicked forward, kicking through the lifted and pressed ground and stage, while Zephyr was also following closely behind the lifted ground.
After Rayleigh kicked it through, he swung his huge black fist heavily at Rayleigh.
Rayleigh's eyes flashed, and he spun on one foot in his flip-flops. One of his hairy legs was dyed black by the stronger armed color, and he gathered up a stronger aura, and collided with Zefa's black wrist with a loud bang.
Bang! Bang! The clash of black fists and black legs caused a wild dance of black electric snakes as thick as arms. The ground beneath their feet cracked, and circles of rings collapsed downwards.
Strong winds blew up and swept through the ruins. The marines were completely stunned. "This old man..."
"Did I hear the name General Zefa called just now wrongly... That old man turned out to be 'Pluto' Rayleigh?!"
"That Pirate King Roger's right hand, Silvers Rayleigh?!!!"
This name is so well-known that in the era of Pirate King Roger not long ago, even if you were not a pirate or a navy, even if you were an ordinary civilian, you would definitely have heard of the name Rayleigh.
But with the execution of the Pirate King many years ago, the Roger Pirates also disappeared...
Ordinary people thought that the legendary pirate group was naturally wiped out by the navy along with the Pirate King Roger, but the navy knew that those legendary names were not caught by their navy, but with the death of the Pirate King Roger, they no longer appeared in the sight of the world.
None of the marines had expected that Pluto Rayleigh was actually right under the nose of the Navy Headquarters in the Sabaody Archipelago! Giovanna Giorno, he actually knew Pluto Rayleigh? !
Not far away, Robin was watching the fight between Rayleigh and Zephyr. After Zephyr and Rayleigh exchanged blows, on the other side, Lynch lifted the stone slab of the ruins, patted the rubble on his body, climbed up, and raised his palm to point at Zephyr and Rayleigh.
Is it that ability again? Zefa's mind moved, and the dark armament color spread from his arms upwards, quickly covering his torso and head, but at the same time, he saw Giorno's hand pointing behind him.
Huh? The moment Zefa turned around, a fist covered with flames landed on his face...
Boom!
A cloud of dust rose into the sky from the ruins.
Zefa leaped high in the smoke and dust.
"What is that? The invisible man? Jolyne Kujo?"
Zefa stared down and chose a relatively conservative response strategy... The upward momentum slowed down until it stopped, and Zefa clenched his fists.
"This is not good..." Rayleigh looked up in his flip-flops.
"It seems..." Lynch looked at the figure falling rapidly in the sky.
"You pissed him off..." the black armor replied beside the main body.
The punch was like a dot of ink, and a figure fell from the sky, falling to the ground like a meteorite! Boom!!! With the ruins of the original auction as the center, Zefa's punch completely penetrated the ground. This time, what soared into the sky was no longer smoke and dust, but gushing waves...
On the other side, the three former slaves who beat up the Celestial Dragons were bruised and bleeding, looking at the white waves rising up in the direction of the auction, horrified. Is this the strength of the admiral? He punched through the Sabaody Archipelago?! Giorno and the others seemed to be people with special abilities, so they were probably in great danger...
"Damn...slave..." Rozold was beaten so hard that his eyes and mouth were crooked and he kept spitting blood.
The three of them took advantage of the fact that the general had no time to pay attention to them, and after quickly giving them two more punches, they left the unconscious Tianlong family of three on the spot and quickly slipped away.
………………
Crash...crash...
The white waves formed a big whirlpool in the huge pit, gurgling and surging...
The original slave auction houses around had already been turned into ruins in the previous battle. It was hard to imagine that the battle, which did not last long, had caused such shocking destruction.
The marines supported each other and walked over. Admiral Zefa stood alone on the edge of the ruins, looking at the huge whirlpool of waves in the middle, breathing slightly.
"General Zephyr, Giorno..."
"Run away." said Zefa.
After receiving such a destructive punch from Admiral Zephyr, he was able to escape? The Marines were silent. And Giorno is a user with special abilities, right? They couldn't catch him even with this...
A marine couldn't help but ask, "Admiral Zephyr, is the old man with Giorno really... that 'Pluto' Rayleigh?"
The others looked at him speechlessly. Apart from that legendary pirate, what other old man in slippers would have such a strong power to fight against Admiral Zephyr?
At the same time, on the opposite side of the whirlpool, in the ruins of the auction, a Den Den Mushi that was the same color as the rubble and completely blended into the environment opened its eyes.
Inside the left eye, sits Lynch.
In the right eye, Rayleigh was sitting. "A Den Den Mushi that ate the Castle Fruit, how rare!"
He raised his head and took a sip of the wine he had just brought from the Den Den Mushi Castle, and said with a smile, "Not bad!"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Little Green made a "boo-boo" sound while its belly transformed into tank-like tracks. Following the command of Lynch who was sitting in the left eye, it rushed out for several hundred meters and saw Robin wearing brown sunglasses on the roadside ahead, waving at it...
The other people around were attracted by the battle that just happened on Island No. 1 and did not notice that a tall woman disappeared out of thin air on the side of the road.
………………
"Let's go to number 13. There's a place called 'Shaggy's Rip-Off Bar.'"
In the Den Den Mushi castle, Rayleigh patted the wall beside him. Regardless of whether they were esper users or not, Den Den Mushi could understand human speech, which was common sense.
Lynch also patted the wall, and soon, the green Den Den Mushi turned and flew rapidly towards Island No. 13.
"So, this is where you are hiding."
Rayleigh walked inside the Den Den Mushi castle, looking around and saying, "Shaqi is an expert at gathering intelligence, but she has very little information about your strange pirate group... Maybe it's because of this Den Den Mushi?"
He looked at Lynch and smiled, "I guess you gave this Castle Fruit to this Den Den Mushi?"
“Even if you guessed right,” Lin Qi spread his hands, “you can’t deny the loss of a coated ship to me.”
"But we should stay in Shampoo for a while. There is no rush for the ship." Lin Qi smiled quickly and took out the two notes from his body. "If I don't use these two things anymore, they will be worn out in my pocket."
Rayleigh took the note, glanced at it, and then looked around the Den Den Mushi castle. He smiled and said, "The venue is ready... However, with your level of Haki, you don't need guidance from an old man like me. Not everyone can have the Armament Haki to fight against 'Black Arm' Zephyr!"
"I could only fight him head-on, but I still couldn't beat him," said Lynch.
Of course, if the armor is superimposed with the full-strength iron block on the armament color, it is hard to say whether it can defeat Zephyr's "Black Arm".
"Speaking of Zefa, I thought the general who came would be that Sengoku! I heard that the Great Buddha Fruit also has shock wave moves, and I was wondering..." Lin Qi touched his chin, "Is his Great Buddha shock wave stronger, or is my shock fruit more powerful?"
………………
"Zefa! You've gone too far!"
In Marinford, at the headquarters of the Navy, Admiral Sengoku and Admiral Zephyr stood in front of their superior, Marshal Sikong, and bowed their heads to receive the reprimand.
Zefa himself didn't care at all, and said nonchalantly: "Isn't it just destroying half of the island? There are seventy-nine islands in the Sabaody Archipelago, this is nothing."
"Am I talking about the island?!"
Marshal Kong had just been scolded by the Five Elders over the phone, and now he was so angry that he slammed the table and shouted, "I'm talking about the Celestial Dragons!!"
When Sengoku next to Zefa heard the word "Celestial Dragon", he looked overwhelmed.
The three Celestial Dragons were beaten black and blue, almost beyond recognition... In the end, they were not even discovered, but woke up one after another in a pool of blood, and tremblingly supported themselves to find Zephyr and the Marines who were still in Shampoo and Demon.
As for why? Of course, the marines had already discovered the Celestial Dragons! But because of this, no marine dared to approach them... How dare you approach a Celestial Dragon lying in a pool of blood, beaten to a pulp by someone so badly that his mother couldn't even recognize him?
If you wake them up, they will open their eyes and might kill you first in anger!
As an admiral of the navy, Zefa didn't care. He showed some concern for the bruised and swollen Celestial Dragon family of three and asked them who had injured them.
"Yes..." After the bruised and swollen Rozilde father and daughter were angry, they found that they didn't even know the names of the three slaves! Nonsense, they were just beasts in their eyes, who would remember their names?
Even their names may not be registered in the mansion of Mary Joa in the Holy Land!
Who would bother to register a pet that might be killed any day? Just fill in a random number and it will be fine...
Zefa said: "No one witnessed the prisoners who injured the Tianlong people, and the Tianlong people don't remember their names. What else can I do except send them back to the holy land?"
Marshal Kong said angrily: "Are you sending them back? You are just throwing them back! Anyway, the Five Elders are very angry about this matter and they want our navy to give an explanation!"
"Okay," Zefa said even more straightforwardly, "I'll take the responsibility! Take away my title of general."
As expected! Sengoku was speechless. As soon as this old man heard about Giorno's situation, he couldn't wait to run to the Sabaody Archipelago. As expected, he had this in mind.
"Zefa, you wish!" Marshal Kong said unhappily, "Even if I have to punish you, I will punish you to continue to serve as a general! Don't even think about retiring before the next term."
Zefa rolled his eyes wildly. He was not young anymore, but there was no need to pretend to be profound in front of his old boss.
"Anyway, regarding the Celestial Dragons this time..." Marshal Sora rubbed his forehead and glanced at Sengoku at his desk, "Let's just put the blame on Giovanna Giorno."
"What?" Zhan Guo was stunned.
"How can this be possible!" Zephyr said unhappily, "Didn't I tell you that Giorno's attack was aimed at me, he didn't attack the Celestial Dragons! Marshal, if you are dissatisfied with my report, then you can fire me!"
This time it was Marshal Kong who rolled his eyes.
What is it like to have a general who is always thinking of retiring? "Dream on!" Marshal Kong shouted, "Don't even think about retiring early during my term! When Zhan Guo becomes the marshal, you can bother him again!"
"Huh?" Zhan Guo began to roll his eyes. What the hell was going on?
………………
"You mean, Zefa might not push the Celestial Dragons' affairs onto me?"
On the 13th, three figures appeared out of nowhere at the door of Xia Qi's rip-off bar. Lynch turned around and asked Rayleigh, "Why is this?"
